Bio

Dave Starns

. . .grew up in Hammond, Louisiana and moved to Los Angeles to finish a degree in film production. While at CSUN, he worked in a gorilla suit doing singing telegrams, and in a more conservative outfit at Griffith Park Observatory, turning the Planetarium stars on and using the special "arrow" flashlight to show where the bathroom exits were.

In 1990, he escaped from Los Angeles, enrolling in grad school at LSU. After 15 years of teaching American Literature (mainly at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond), Dave retired from academia and began playing with computers. Now, by day, he writes database software for the Louisiana Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities. In the evenings, he plays solo and duo gigs at local restaurants, and plays with a batch of bands on the weekends. He also teaches guitar, bass, and piano lessons, works as a studio musician and occasionally provides music for feature films.All of this leaves very little time for sasquatch-hunting.

Dave is all about the music.

Every kind of music.

Well, alright, his repertoire of Ukrainian funeral dirges is a little spare.

You may have simply come here to find his Performance Schedule. Here it is.

"One of the things I'm excited about is my new studio, You Call This a Studio. It's a modest affair, built around a Universal Audio Apollo Twin interface into an iMac running Logic Pro X. Here's a two-and-a-half minute instrumental ditty I recorded to get familiar with the ins and outs of Logic:"

"And here's a video Andrew (my son) made--we did the soundtrack together in the studio:"

I've also got several band projects in the works all the time. Check them out here!
